The recent episode of “The Masked Singer” featured the early exit of Queen Corgi, played by comedian Claudia Oshry. This unmasking occurred during the show’s special “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Night,” which aired on January 28, as part of Season 14.
Queen Corgi’s Departure
Claudia Oshry, known for her Instagram persona as @GirlWithNoJob and her podcast “The Toast,” performed “Unstoppable” by Sia before revealing her decision to leave the competition. Prior to this performance, she sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade” by Barbra Streisand in the season premiere.
Oshry opted to step down rather than face elimination, citing her responsibilities as a new mother. She expressed concern over the impact of the show’s demands on her time with her four-month-old baby. “I decided that after some performances, this has fulfilled a dream,” Oshry shared. She felt she had accomplished her goals on the show and chose to exit gracefully.
Support from the Production Team
Oshry communicated her decision to the producers, who were supportive of her choice. She highlighted that most of the team were women, including a pregnant producer, making her feel understood. The episode concluded without the panel guessing her identity, as the panelists were unaware of her departure until after the episode.
